In case you haven't seen the news, the Father of Hip Hop himself KOOL HERC has fallen ill and is having troubles paying his hospital bills. Where as this is an every day situation for millions of Americans, being that Kool Herc is the father of one of the United States only true cultural contributions to the world that has itself become a billion dollar industry, Deejay Tense and I know that is both our duty and honor to give 100% of the proceeds received from our show tomorrow at the Curtis Street Bar (with Kenan Bell, Gavin, Dyalekt, Isolated Generation and Qbala) to Kool Herc. No Herc. No us. DF* (via Mane Rok)

Year two for the SAI Snow Show in Denver and Year two that I have infiltrated the security process. If you remember last year I just waltzed in. This year with a little help from Twitter friend B.H. I was able to recreate the credentials required for entry. I even ran into Denver's own DJ Klaw aka @Jerkfacemagoo (top pic). The show is awesome and I highly recommend and if you ever get a chance to go definitely do. So much to look at (middle pic) and participate in. Just checking out the new products and merchandise is half of the fun (last pic). I think the Snow Show is under contract for a few more years and I for sure will be getting in every year if possible. Maybe by the last year I will have my fake company there selling fake merchandise. DF*

Biking while intoxicated, or BWI is serious business. When you’re lit and you’re on any amount of wheels you’re a danger to everyone around you. More importantly, you’re also a danger to yourself. So we don’t encourage operating vehicles of any kind, heavy machinery or one-eyed snakes while heavily intoxicated because the results are catastrophic. But I digress. Play it safe, but have a beer/caffeinated beverage/Four Loko at the ready whenever you’re on two wheels with the Bicycle Can Cage. The handcrafted leather cage and brackets solve your road soda problem stylishly. DF* (via Cool Material)

One downside of living on planet Earth: it’s 75% water. We’ve always been at the mercy of all those lakes and ponds and streams that get in our way. But no more. With the Water Walking Ball, water is no longer your enemy. Having the appearance of a very large beach ball, all that’s required is to simply open the zipper, climb in, and blow it up, and you can walk around like a hamster while floating above the water.

While your tweets are likely to last forever, archived in some scary place we may not want to revisit in a decade, you can’t take them along with you. For the messages that you hold dear to you heart, there’s the Tweet Ring. Select a twitter message and those 140 characters are engraved on both sides of a ring. Or, you can put the tweet on one side, and on the other the sender, date and time. DF* (via Incredible Things)
